5 angela heslopI live in Crosby and when I was recovering from an operation earlier this year I regained my physical and emotional strength through walking on the beach among the statues. They inspire me and fil me with hope.

7 Rachel Littlewoodthey are a treasure and should be kept and respected as such
8 Collette RawlinsonSave the Gromley's, they are wonderful for the city!
9 Matthew TaylorLiverpool cannot call itself Capital of Culture by ridding itself of one of its artistic landmarks due to small-minded demands by a bunch of NIMBYs.

12 Steve TalbotWe've had friends travel from Spain to see this work. A piece with an international profile in Crosby. You'll miss it when it' gone!!!
13 John BirkinshawYes - please keep those wonderful statues !

15 AnonymousI am emailing to pledge my support for the Antony Gormley statues to remain in the fabulous setting of Crosby beach. This work, made by the UK's most high profile artist add something trully unique to the north west and reveal that we are visionary enough to bring culture into the heart of all that we do!

20 graeme phillipsThe statues have become an integral part of Crosby Beach, they provide pleasure, amusement, visual drama and provoke thought deep or whimsical, and must remain at all costs
21 AnonymousI work for tourisim on Merseyside, and believe me the Anthony Gormley statues are a BIG draw. Even before there was the fuss about the move, we get many enquiries about them. Long may the reside on merseyside!! Look at the Lambanana. People either loved or hated him, but we would hate to see him go now.
22 Rosalind GordonI like them and would be sad if they walk off. xxxx

31 Wibke HottOne of the projects that also shows Liverpool's committment and investment into the non-city centre areas! *ahem* (all together now:) KEEP THE STATUES! KEEP THE STATUES!!!

35 Joanne MedcalfI agree that having such a world renowned piece of work in the area can only be beneficial, especially taking into account the forthcoming Capital of Culture status. They do not appear to be causing harm to anyone, and removal seems a ridiculous act - I do not know what statement they are trying to make, but I don't think it's working!
36 Pat Breen - O'NeillThese fantastic sculptures can not be allowed to leave the banks of The Mersey. Save the Crosby 100!!
37 Esther WilsonIt's the Capital of Culture in 08 for goodness sake! It's art for us minions in a public space. Is that scary or something? Don't make Liverpool a laughing stock.

39 Paul ReganRepositioning Merseyside as a place where arts and culture can prosper can only benefit from such a significant work by such an important artist. To lose them would send the opposite message.
40 Roger SinekThis work has captured the popular imagination and that's reason enough for it to stay - the commercial benefits to the region are a further bonus. "Health and Safety" will be the death of our culture if it continues to be used as an excuse to smother cultural vitality.

48 AnonymousThese statues are unique and remarkable on the coastline at Crosby. I'm sure that it's possible to address any environmental or safety concerns and hope that a solution can be found to keep them.

50 Helen BrownThese are world class artworks by a world class sculptor. To remove these artworks prior to Liverpool becoming capital of culture will be an act of complete idiocy by Sefton council. The councillors will be judged by future generations……………
